Uh oh... Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes shippers better brace themselves. The couple may be back together, but not everyone thinks this is such a good thing! As Perezcious readers know, the on-again, off-again pair nearly broke the internet on Wednesday by revealing they're back together and looking totally in love! This comes after a split in September amid cheating rumors on the Outer Banks star's part. It sounded really nasty! But Kelsea seems to have forgiven him, and they're trying to get back to a new normal. Related: Jennifer Lopez Takes Swipe At Ben Affleck Marriage During Las Vegas Residency! However, some are said to be fearing for the worst! View this post on Instagram A post shared by @hichasestokes A blind item, which heavily appears to be about these two, has been circulating on the internet ever since the shocking news. Believed to have been sent in to DeuxMoi, it paints a bleak picture about this reconciliation. An anonymous source writes in a message titled "Toxic Mess": "A recently reunited on-again/off-again pair is fooling exactly no one. The charming actor just wrapped a project and jetted back, and suddenly the door he keeps slamming shut is wide open again. Sources say he's been unfaithful more times than she's forgiven, and while she plays tough in public, privately she hates being alone, especially around the holidays." Now that she's let him back into the picture, her inner circle is spiraling! The source claimed: "Friends and family are quietly panicking, begging her to walk, because this cycle has already left scars and everyone knows how it ends. The thing is, she has a pattern, chaos feels like chemistry. He's all red flags and apologies, and she keeps choosing the apology. The 'reunion' looks cute on socials, but insiders whisper it's half loneliness, half PR, he's between gigs now, and she doesn't mind the extra buzz. Give it a few weeks. The toxicity ramps, the mask slips, and by the time the confetti clears, she'll be dragging something into 2026 that should've stayed in 2025." Jeez. Because of this, the source did NOT hold back, declaring: "It won't stick. It never does. Only this time, they're worried the fallout won't be just another breakup." S**t. What are they worried about?? That she'll get pregnant?? She did just have a song come out all about how she wishes to be a mother called I Sit In Parks. Maybe they're concerned she'll rush to the next chapter, even if things are still toxic, ultimately creating a worse situation for her future? Yikes.
